Ana's work focuses on the role of B-class genes and C-class genes in floral development and evolution within the Zingiberales. She is using expression data and yeast-two hybrid systems to investigate the role of genes and proteins during floral development, and is developing agrobacterium mediated stable transformation in Musa, Zingiber, Costus and Canna in order to test gene function.

Ana was a Fulbright/CAPES Scholar and received a 2011 NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant. She received her PhD in August 2013 and continues in the lab as a postdoctoral research associate.
